Dermot Kennedy Announces MISNEACH Festival

Critically acclaimed, multi-platinum singer/songwriter Dermot Kennedy announced MISNEACH, a brand-new annual global music festival and celebration of Ireland’s rich musical heritage to coincide with the St Patrick’s Day celebrations in March 2025. MISNEACH (pron. mish-nyach, meaning ‘Courage’ in Gaelic) will be held next March across two cities central to the Irish diaspora and with thriving Irish culture: Sydney, Australia on March 16 and Boston, USA on March 18-19. The twin festivals will form a vital new part of each city’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, providing a renewed focus on contemporary and traditional Irish music through lineups curated by Dermot Kennedy in partnership with Ireland Music Week.

“For so many years now I have watched the St Patrick’s Day celebrations in so many different cities with a massive sense of pride.” explains Dermot; “I’ve always been so moved by the way Irish history and culture is celebrated all over the world. But I’ve also had the feeling that, for a country so rich in culture, I didn’t see it being represented fully in these events worldwide and I wondered, could we change that?”
